TO A MOCklNG-BIRO.

No sound except the rivers rush.
With twilight came the ;virghts hush;
Days farewell glanoes on the hill,
In smiles of sunlight fingered still;
And evenings herald came-a star
That ,remoling leaned across nights bar;
And sea blown brcezes softly met
Winds fragrant with the violet
When on the air began to float
The mocking birds first serious note,
So sweetly strange, so strangely sweet
That sound and fragrance seemed to meet
And both in one harmonious whole
Crept through the senses to the soul.
All day Jester, now alone
His music is his very own.
The motley coat is laid aside,
The echo from his song has died;
And now IL seems prayer for rest
That wells from some DER laden breast
Likcpent-up sorrow that, escaping, springs
From out o soul that suffers what it sings,
Upon clear night air the music rings.
As one rememb'ring who would fain forget,
His song is halfway said, and yet,
Like happy words to mournful music set,
Minglcs somewhat OF JOY with much regret.
II is not thine alone, o bird TO bear
Within one besom lau ghter and despair;
Not thire alone throughout the day TO wear
a testers mask before the face OF care;
But il is thine alone in matchless strain
TO tell the nighttime all thy hidden pain
And greet the morning with Jest again:
To voice our longings We do strive in vain.
Give thy art from our sad souls TO free
Each prisoned sorrow in such harmony,
And sweeter sadder songs could never be.

The following account OF tho first mar
riage in Tazewell County is taken by the
Pekin Qll) Times from diary kept by
9ne OF the oldest settlers, since deceased
The first marriage in farewell County
was in 1927. Mordecai Mobley, first clerk
commissioners clerk them OF our coun-
ty, happened to call at "Father" Siout's
homo. Here he saw Frank and Fanny
Stout-if related at all, distantly.
Father Stout told Clerk Mobley how
Frank had been courting his daugh-
ter Fanny for soms time and how
they wanted to marry, but didn't know
how; that he supposed there was a per-
init or something TO be secured first, for
which it was not clear in his mind where TO
apply. Mr.. Mobley told him he was Just
the man; that he had authority to give
permits, and that he would do so then and
there.
"Have you papcrs'" asked the clerk.
"No.n
"Any books,n
"Well there used to bo an old book
about the house,
And the search was instituted, and an
old worn-out book was found. In the book

And the two went out into the yard and
caught a big chicken, plucked a feather
from it, and soon Clerk M5bley had whit
ted out nice quill pen. He now inquired
for ink, and, of course, there was none
but there was some gunpowder in the
house, and by mixing some water with Q
quantity Of the powder fluid was soor
manufactured that would answer the pur
pose. And then the clerk sat himself
down and wrote the permit that was tc
mako two h carts happy. And on the 27tt
day OF June, 1927, Flank and Fanny Stout
were married by Rev. Mr. Brown, and
all went as happy as a marriage bell

pet him for duty well performed and
the next time he will do it with greater
alacrity and pleasure. Talk to him as
you won d toa child and You will be
surprised TO note how well he under
stands you. A few lessons will serve
to teach him from your manner the

and ''come;" and "walk;" "quick"
and "slow." If your pup is Intelligent.
